Tiefling, she has horns.

Dunno, she's giving major Keylith vibes. Their character designs are basically identical.

I bet this is much more accurate. Probably an “homage” to Crit role.

there is that elf druid in the book who also has horns it might just be a popular thing.

Keylith's people are from Exandria, not the Forgotten Realms. She is standard pre-4e tiefling.

Looks cheesy, which I guess is all a D&D movie can aspire to be.

Trying to make a serious D&D fantasy movie would be very risky. The number of successful serious fantasy films that have been made is pretty darn short. The ones made in the last 20 years is even shorter - it's what Lord of the Rings? On TV you have Game of Thrones but that's television where prestige drama is allowed to wallow for a bit in critical acclaim before it finds popular success - in film it would be a lot riskier. Especially since the market for serious films in general seems pretty low these days - it's not what people are looking for in their action movies.

Targeting a Guardians of the Galaxy or a Fast and Furious vibe for a D&D movie, on the other hand, is lower risk. It seems to be what people want right now. Especially for an initial outing of what you hope to be a franchise where you don't know if the audience is even going to show up for a movie that is based on a game.

I'm just hoping for a fun action movie. If they can pull that off I'll be pretty happy.

Looks like fun!

Trying to make a serious D&D fantasy movie would be very risky.

The first thing you would have to do, IMO, is NOT title it D&D. "Honor Among thieves: A Forgotten Realms Tale" (tiny text: based on Dunegons and Dragons).

But, I think they can lean in and turn the cheese into gold.

Man if I find this reference esoteric, I just think about the folks who are younger/more casual than me!

they are both druids with horns.

Also fair skin, red hair, and green clothes. The similarities are kind of overbearing honestly.
